    Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked－remotely－to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past?

    Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.

    Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.

    【1】Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?

    A. To correct her typing mistakes.

    B. To find her secrets in the room.

    C. To prevent her from slowing down.

    【题目】The term "healthy obesity" has gained value over the past 15 years,but scientists have recently questioned its very existence."Our new findings suggest that health measures may be necessary for all obese（肥胖的）individuals, even those previously considered to be metabolically（代谢的）healthy,"says study first author Mikael,"Since obesity is the major driver changing gene expression in fat cells,we should continue to focus on preventing obesity."

    Obesity has been a global problem,affecting approximately 600 million people worldwide and increasing the risk of heart disease,stroke,cancer,and so on.But in the 1970s and 80s,experts began to question the extent to which obesity increases the risk for these disorders.Later studies in the late 90s and early 2000s showed that some obese people show a relatively healthy life.

    However,there are no accepted measures for measuring metabolically healthy obesity,and whether or not such a thing exists is now up for discussion."Our study suggests that the idea of metabolically healthy obesity may be more difficult than thought,"Mikael says,"There doesn’t appear to be a clear line that separates obese subjects with high or low insulin（胰岛素）sensitivity,indicating that obesity is the major driver explaining the changes in gene expression."

    One limitation of the study is that it examined gene expression only in white fat cells,not other types.Moreover, all of the obese subjects were scheduled to experience obesity operations,so the findings may only apply to people with severe obesity.In future research,Mikael and his group will track the study patients after surgery to determine whether weight loss normalizes gene expression responses.They will also look for specific genes linked to improved metabolic health in these people.

    In the meantime,the study has an important take-home message."Obese people may not be as metabolically healthy as previously believed,"Ryden says.

    【1】What does the underlined phrase "healthy obesity" mean?

    A. It can be healthy with obesity.

    B. Obesity is necessary to be healthy.

    C. Unhealthy people have no obesity.

    D. Health has something to do with obesity.

    【2】What leads to healthy obesity failing to prove true?

    A. Lack of related patients.

    B. Lack of genetic evidence.

    C. Lack of research funding.

    D. Lack of needed standards.

    【3】What advice can readers get from the passage?

    A. People should have a healthy lifestyle.

    B. People should accept obesity in a way.

    C. People should keep a balanced weight.

    D. People should avoid obesity operations.

    【4】Which can best describe the author's intention in writing the passage?

    A. Compare,analyze and conclude.

    B. Show,appreciate,and persuade.

    C. Introduce,argue and advertise.

    D. Present,inform and inspire.

    【题目】In June 2014, two leading media in America reported that three-year-old Victoria Wilcher, who suffered facial scarring, was kicked out of a KFC because she was a frightening customer. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.

    Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that she has seen a shift towards less responsibility in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”

    Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “You’ve a strict editor and you’ve to meet your targets. And some young journalists are inexperienced and will not do those checks. So much news reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone’s door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”

    Another journalist says, “More clicks equal more money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”

    In a Feb. 2015 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, “Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. The rumor becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity.”

    And, despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times’ public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It’s extremely important to question and to prove before publication.” Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated. In the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click, regardless of the advantage of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, it’s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.”

    【1】According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _________.

    A. clicks count a lot B. resources are limited

    C. budgets are tight D. journalists lack experience

    【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

    A. Lies can’t sell without something related to the truth.

    B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind.

    C. Most people are easy to cheat by the false news online.

    D. A lie will end up as truth, if repeated often enough.

    【3】What’s Margaret Sullivan’s attitude towards false news online?

    A. Negative. B. Supportive.

    C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.

    【4】What is the best title of the passage?

    A. Spread of false stories.

    B. Causes of online false news.

    C. Duties of journalists.

    D. Relative laws needed to regulate the online news.
